Katrina & Joshua fall florals in a vineyard wedding

This pair opted for some Trader Joe’s flowers at an ultra cheap price and somehow bagged the most gorgeous assortment of fall-colored blooms. But there’s more to see than just flowers. Check out the heirloom dress over which you’ll die of jealousy, dinosaur cake toppers, and ModCloth reception dress.

Katlin & Vadim’s Star Trek Jewish wedding in a garden

This wedding is such an awesome mix of geeky and traditional: Star Trek meets Conservadox Judaism. Although this pair encountered some family drama, they totally triumphed with their chosen family and kicked ass in their Starfleet uniforms, Vulcan ears, and lovely garden ceremony.

Rachel & Jake’s “Water for Elephants” state fair wedding

If you can resist the lure of this bride’s black shimmery mermaid dress, you are stronger than we are. A vision in black, teal, and red, she slays us with her style. Add that to the sexy groom, 1930s circus theme, and pseudo-elopement strategy, and you’ll be ready to marry these two yourself. Plus, if you’re dealing with photo insecurity, this bride knows how to shut it down and embrace your awesomeness!

Toni & Nam’s offbeat lite garden wedding with monsters and games

We know that our brides run the gamut on how much they want to be involved in the wedding planning. This bride took it one step further and let her mom plan 99% of it! And their personalities totally shined through in their gamer geek music choices, colorful monster details (including Frankenstein shoes!), and choices in board games for the reception.

Pink and orange with heart-shaped sammies on top

I’m in love with these geeks in love and their wedding in Arizona. And with their pink and orange happy-pants color scheme. And with the bride’s tea-length dress that shows off her ink (that also matches the peacocks strutting around. AND we love their tiered Rice Krispy treat cake. My relationship with it is getting serious. We may be thinking a marshmallow/me marriage. I think you’ll love it, too, so make yourself a heart-shaped PB&J, get to scrolling, and take it all in.
